Spam is perfectly fine to eat straight from can. And as far as frying up slices, they taste SO much better than uncooked. I love it fried with eggs or in a sandwich but think it is nasty cold from can.

Tips

Try different varieties. "Spam Classic" is the original flavor, but you may want to try other varieties such as "Spam Lite", "Spam with Bacon", or "Spam Hot and Spicy". There is also Spam Spread, which comes in a spread form instead of slices, and packaged Spam slices called "Spam Singles."

Limit your intake of processed meat, as it is high in sodium and saturated fat.

Carefully wrap or package unused portions of your Spam treats and refrigerate for later use.

If you want to eat spam, you can have it right from the can since it’s fully cooked, or you can bake, fry, or microwave it. To eat spam as your main dish, fry some slices and use them to make a sandwich. Alternatively, make a spam musubi by serving spam as a hamburger between layers of rice and seaweed instead of a bun. You can also eat spam as part of another dish. Try cubing the spam and making spam and rice, or cut your spam into strips and add it to a hot or cold salad or noodle dish.
